They may take a little longer to process since they will need to thaw first, but it shouldn't be too big of a difference. Have fun! You can just put them straight on the dehydrator frozen.

With that thought in mind I bought some big bags of frozen fruit and now want to ATTEMPT to dehydrate. However, I have not found anywhere directions on how to accomplish this. Like can you just put the frozen fruit/veggies in the dehydrator and go for it? Or, must the frozen stuff be defrosted first. I've run out of freezer space thus the need to dehydrate. Any help will be appreciated. I heard somewhere that you can dehydrate frozen fruits and veggies.

Berries are a great thing to freeze and later use in smoothies. Also, if you are limited on freezer space and want to make freezer jams, you can crush your fruit, add lemon juice (if called for), and then measure the necessary amounts into freezer bags. They will lay flat in the freezer and save room until you are ready to thaw the fruit and make your jam.

I also dried some plain, that I simmer back into soups later in the year.
